Vantaggi

Pay, benefits, projects (if you’re decently lucky to find a team that likes you and you like them)

Svantaggi

Revolving door of talent. No one cares about your development if you’re struggling a little. So be ready to perform at the highest level without a single error. You’re not allowed a single bad case. Staffing will help get your first project. After that you’re pretty much on your own. Company promotes taking care of yourself but when you really have to take time off for serious health problems, you’re dinged in reviews, lose your connections as everyone behaves as if you don’t exist. The result is you will beg and beg to get staffed without any results. Instead of help, you’re given the “resilience and perseverance” advice from your leaders.

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Svantaggi

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
